What exactly do you mean "replace the ADC"

I keep seeing people say things like fighters or skirmishes or X other class can replace the ADC, but what does that mean? Like Fiora, Yi, Yas, or Trynd go bot or just not have a marksman and make bot duo support? What's the intention behind replacing the ADC, with a melee carry or with a second support?

A marksman bot lane is the only thing that you ALWAYS see in games. It's tiresome.

I don't think the a duo support would gain much momentum as the replacement adc unless they moved the carry to a solo lane and the second support was a mage, otherwise there just wouldn't be enough diversity on the team to move the game quickly

APC can, in SOME situations, replace the ADC. But it only really works because of the range on APC's.

But with so many players defaulting to APC support simply because they cannot handle the melee mid assassin, the APC over ADC in bot is more niche than ever before.
